    @OsborneJack98 @EliteSouls377 @ModernWarzone See at least overwatch is just cause of an attack, those games issues were the own companies.

  • Krazyboy20 Krazyboy20 (@Krazyboy20) reported

    @theSeksbang You misunderstood. I'm saying that these ddos attackers are soulless and thanks to them now we are suffering. I know I'm just assuming about the reasons why these people ddos blizzard Overwatch either way it's all bad I hope they catch these people so we can play this game normal

  • AlgoonP Algoon pro (@AlgoonP) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @PlayOverwatch hey, i have a problem 😵‍💫😵‍💫i played overwatch for years, and in overwatch 2 i have my level 250 account (dherrero1974) but i didnt get any of the overwacth 1 rewards, the rewards for play overwatch 1 ¿how i fix it?

  • MFounderz MrFounderz 😊 (3k? On our way) (@MFounderz) reported

    I still honestly feel so bad for the Overwatch devs for having to deal with these attacks. I get it's a new game and the servers are being flooded, but if these DDoS attacks never happened then way more people would be able to get into the game and play it

  • riosmiguel1998 Bioshockmike56 (@riosmiguel1998) reported

    @BlizzardCS so I want you to know something. I supported you since the Overwatch and diablo. However, if you sincerely believe that I'm going to change my phone provider in order to play overwatch 2 then you are kindly mistaken. Fix the issue or prepare to lose the a lot players.

    Overwatch 2: broken bastion

  • Cripplen187 Cripplen (@Cripplen187) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS I have issue where it says my friends are on a different overwatch any suggestions

  • Pajimbus Steve Gatewood (@Pajimbus) reported

    Things working great on Overwatch 2: the ability to buy in game currency things not working great in overwatch 2: literally everything else. but nah I'm sure it's a ddos attack

  • _Mister_Toasty_ Toastman (@_Mister_Toasty_) reported

    Anyone else say merging is ready for OW2 and it's not working #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • NachtIntellect NachtIntellect (@NachtIntellect) reported

    Well, looks like I won't be playing overwatch 2 today, I've had nothing but issues connecting to the server

  • Phantom49635033 Phantom (@Phantom49635033) reported

    @aaronkellerOW Wait what? I didn't think they'd be hit with a DDoS this soon. But what can I say, there are people who would rather see overwatch as a whole burn.

  • RemixedCasey Casey🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@RemixedCasey) reported

    Overwatch 2 not working, crazy. Anyway I have a code for the Street Fighter 6 beta which I probably won't use.

  • Loborama lobo (@Loborama) reported

    Overwatch 2 suffers from the same problem as 1, nobody on my team wants to win

  • Mashunormal Mash (@Mashunormal) reported

    OVERWATCH FIX YOUR **** RIGHT NOW

  • pray2pie Joey (@pray2pie) reported

    I still can’t believe Overwatch 2 has been completely shut off on launch day die to DDOS attacks. What a great launch day for a new game!

  • luciolelights ✨oli✨@P7S prog (@luciolelights) reported

    of **** YES I never have to touch overwatch on ps4 again, all my stuff from my PSN transferred over no problem :')

  • 123Hurts Ghost of Truth (@123Hurts) reported

    Did overwatch 1 have server problems on release day? I can’t remember but this is shocking for overwatch 2. Can’t get in menu and in queue system. Free to play model can suck

  • bento_bongos Gaia Bentos (@bento_bongos) reported

    @squidmamaart Maybe that's the problem then. Some characters have similar conditions, but many people fail to recognize it due to art style. Overwatch pretty much acknowlidged dwarfism and when japanese media tried the same thing, it was met with verbal backlash.

  • aonespacegirl Another Space Girl (@aonespacegirl) reported

    @desmoki @MaddyThorson Totally agree that those are issues, but honestly, I feel like Splatoon more than makes up for it with how intuitive the mechanics are compared to other shooters. My first shooter was Overwatch and trying to play that as a beginner was hell because I had zero ideas on what to do.

  • strawhatchrispy soba 𒌐 (@strawhatchrispy) reported

    Overwatch 2 is most def the worst launch day for any game I’ve played. At least with NBA2K23’s blue screen glitch, u can actually play.

  • Cade_Onder Cade Oooo-nder 👻🎃 (@Cade_Onder) reported

    I have been trying to get past the Overwatch 2 start screen for like 6 hours. Just gives me an error once I am past the queue

  • vividmercurie Mars (@vividmercurie) reported

    my ps4 is broken and my overwatch progress has been erased. it really sums up the mood today

  • TheDank_Voyager 🧡The_Dank_Voyager🧡 (SPOOKY TIME) (@TheDank_Voyager) reported

    Anyways gn, i spent all night trying to play Overwatch 2 but it still broken af. Screw this ****.

  • Hello_Msblue Chaotic_neutral (@Hello_Msblue) reported

    I come home from my shoot, wash my ***, roll my blunt…and Overwatch 2 is already having server issues 😠 The blunt and I are pissed

  • angel444222 ༻angel♎︎༻ (@angel444222) reported

    if dva , sombra , or ashe better be unlocked once i login to overwatch 2

  • MFounderz MrFounderz 😊 (3k? On our way) (@MFounderz) reported

    @Ghost_Leonheart Yea Overwatch servers have been a mess because there was a DDoS attack

  • MFounderz MrFounderz 😊 (3k? On our way) (@MFounderz) reported

    @ImAOnceLeo To put it simple, someone (or even a group of people) is hacking the Overwatch servers causing people to be kicked out after getting in or having a "failed to connect" error message pop up after waiting in the queue

  • koalatykoala1 koalaty_koala (@koalatykoala1) reported

    I had everything linked up to my account my phone number too why are the old heroes from overwatch locked 💀 also my hours on my characters are completely changed wtf?? #Overwatch2 anyone know how I can fix this or is also going through the same stupid ****?

  • MystWolf101 MystWolf101 (@MystWolf101) reported

    Can't wait to get home from work in 5 hours and get back to Overwatch 2. Hopefully, the server issues are fixed by then.

  • Red_Like_Roses 🌹Rosie🌹 (@Red_Like_Roses) reported
